RE:RE:RE:latest investor presentation/slide deck Hi guys,
Definitely still here, continue to be invested, and believe very, very strongly in the Company. I see that foldinggreen posted my Twitter feed, and as you can see, I've continued to write about my thoughts on the business.
Overall, I'm very happy with management's operating execution this year, where we've seen EBITDA to shareholders grow by ~11% YTD through Q3. The M&A pipeline looks very strong heading into next year, and I believe there will be a large number of deals signed in 2020. The hiring of Dr. Tushar Ramani has given me great hope for the road ahead for the Company given his outstanding medical/financial background and relationships with the likes of Summit Partners and Blackstone. Having continued my conversations with Rushar and CFO Richard Bear, I believe they have a very strong handle on the business and on the opportunities ahead of them.
We're seeing a return of major institutional investors. But it's not just about getting institutional investors; it's about getting long-term value-oriented funds into the stock. This has happened in 2018-2019 with the investments from Nantahala and from Stadium Capital. I forget if I've spoken about this on Stockhouse, but check out Stadium's background: they're exactly the right type of Fund that you want investing in your companies. Co-PMs Alex Seaver and Brad Kent use a concentrated, small-cap value strategy, with only 10-14 positions, and I'm pleased that they've put on CRHM. You can read more about Stadium in this interview with Columbia's Graham and Doddsville Newsletter from Fall 2016:
https://www.valuewalk.com/2016/11/graham-doddsville-november-2016-newsletter/ On top of all of this, you have an investment that continues to look extremely cheap because of the high EBITDA to LFCF conversion, a point I've been making for the last 2.5 years. This slide below is from management's presentation at the Canaccord Genuity presentation in early August:
Guys, I will be the first to admit that the stock's recovery has taken longer than I expected, but I have no complaints about the continued strong operating performance by management. Fundamentally, I couldn't ask for anything more. As always, do your own research, but I believe that 2020 will be a very strong year for the Company.
Best wishes for a Happy New Year to all of you and your families,
